Tarrawonga Mine is located 16km east of Boggabri. It commenced open cut mining in 2006, and has a mine life of approximately 18 years.

The coal produced at Tarrawonga has a mix of low ash, low sulphur, low phosphorous and medium to high volatility. Approvals enable a ROM production rate of up to 3Mtpa. Currently coal is washed at Gunnedah, although longer term plans are to have Tarrawonga coal washed at Vickery’s plant once constructed.

Whitehaven’s production statistics can be found in our Quarterly Reports here.
